Live at the Chardonnay ft. Payten Redwood, Spades, and Bowyn

This will be the first of many living room sessions at the Chardonnay and we are so excited to put together an evening featuring three bands that's original music will leave your heart melted and ears wanting more. The three bands feature female lead singers, all Cornish graduates, and all deeply inspired by RnB, Pop, and Jazz.

Bowyn:
Bowyn is a West Coast band with a West London feel. Its blues-inspired chamber pop that comes with a surgeon generals warning. A wizard, a vampire and a werewolf disguised as musicians trying to lay low and conjure art.

Its a goddamn eucatastrophe.

Spades:
Seattle-based and New York City-experienced vocalist Kelly Ash blends jazz, folk, soul and pop to create an original sound. Steeped in the jazz tradition but embracing newer music, Kelly infuses contemporary songs with the intricacies of jazz.

Kelly has emerged as a formidable talent with a rich, soulful voice and captivating stage presence. Kelly's unique approach to jazz appeals to a wide audience as she incorporates contemporary music from songwriters such as Tom Waits, Sting, The Fleet Foxes, Nick Drake, and Jeff Buckley -- her choice of material connects the art of jazz to a new generation.

Payten Redwood:
Payten Redwood's sultry smooth and gorgeous voice meshes so profoundly well with her energetic original music that seamlessly blends together jazz, soul, and RnB. Her stage presence is lively and intriguing and she makes you feel as if you're the only one in the room. A recent Cornish graduate, the Seattle based singer/songwriter has only started what will surely be a long and wonderful career.
